This is Albie. He was so touched by his family singing happy birthday in his native language that he didn't notice the cupcakes with his face on them. 13/10 hbd Albie #SeniorPupSaturday (TT: _sallyv)

Such a talent! I had the CD, but not the vinyl. Not many have played the bass as well as he did (maybe none).

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

I’m sad that people keep thinking he is the saviour when he can’t respect the right for people to be themselves.

Since I can’t sleep, here’s another hot take: The world would be a better place if everyoneβ€˜s science literacy was much better. There should be more emphasis on teaching basic science at all levels in school. Science isn’t just something nerds do, it’s the foundation of the modern world.

Maya Angelou didn’t just write about resilience. She lived it. She proved dignity cannot be crushed and hope cannot be silenced.

Still I rise. Always.

Poet. Author. Truth teller. A voice that taught generations how to stand back up.

I really enjoyed it in English, but perhaps I could learn Spanish from scratch and read it again.

The secret ingredient you might be missing is to ensure that they’re not yet articulated or vetted. That’s the good stuff!

If I ever had to go as a student, I was in big trouble (which was quite often πŸ˜–).

All joking aside, wanting to present yourself at your best is almost certainly helpful to your child. I am from a family of educators, and teachers can treat kids better if they know and/or respect their parent(s).

If the germs on a toilet seat could be anthropomorphized, they would sound like him.

Point of no return: a hellish β€˜hothouse Earth’ getting closer, scientists say Continued global heating could set irreversible course by triggering climate tipping points, but most people unaware

The only biosphere in the known universe capable of supporting human life is being turned into a hell planet because most of Earth's governments refuse to stop trying to satisfy the insatiable greed of a plutocracy composed of people who already have more money than they could spend in 20 lifetimes.

4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.

On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day

So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

It’s too bad there’s not a virtual session - I was about to sign up and saw that is only in person.

How do you lose that much money when your product is virtual? They can’t possibly spend $2.5B on devs, virtual servers, marketing, etc.

I was just talking to someone this week about how sad it has been to realize that there is a much, much larger percentage of awful people than I would have ever imagined. But, in contrast, there are many kind, amazing people, too.

Unrelated, but I’m halfway through Queen of None and loving it.

So cool - that’s the OG PET with that terrible keyboard. It’s the first computer I ever used. I now have a PET and CBM with the newer (normal keyboard).

Love sci-fi and especially OG Star Trek. Just purchased it on (apologies) the A-word site because I have a Kindle. I’ll read it after the one that’s in progress.
